Whhhuuut? A healthy soup recipe?
In hot bbq season?
Yeah. That’s right. Get over it.

Ingredients

  • 3–5 bunches of mixed greens (spinach, beet greens, chard, kale, mustard greens etc)
    about 3–3½ cups when cooked
  • 4–6 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or rice syrup
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 vegetable bouillon cube
  • 2–3 dashed powdered ginger or some fresh grated ginger
  • plain yogurt or sour cream for garnish

Preparation

Wash greens carefully to remove grit.
Chop lightly (with stems on) and steam until tender.
Blend the cooked greens with remaining ingredients (except yogurt.)
Put in a soup pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve with a dollop of plain yogurt and sour cream.
Ignore all skepticism. This soup just feels good!
